 What  does  InSports  mean  to  you?

InSports means giving all kids the opportunity to be part of something. I have younger siblings and I couldn't image them growing up without the opportunity to play sports. 

What  has  been  your  favorite  InSports  memory?​

I have so many! One of the most rewarding InSports memory I have is meeting some of the St. Paul Saints scholarship recipients. I had the opportunity to meet Jalen and his family, they told me that Jalen was a very hard worker in his schoolwork and athletics and was very excited to have received the scholarship. The next day he was awarded 'player of the game' 

It's awesome to see how much passion and enthusiasm kids have for sports at such a young age!

What  do  you  like  doing  on  your  free  time?

I love attending sporting events, especially Sioux hockey games and Twins games. I also enjoy being a hometown tourist with my little brother

If  you  could  travel  anywhere  in  the  world,  where  would  it  be  and  why?
